Applications & Uses

Rehydration Instructions
  • In an inert and sterile container, prepare a mixture of chlorine-free water and juice between 6-8 Brix and 38-42 °C (100-108 °F) that is 10 times the weight of the yeast.
  • Gently mix the yeast into the water-juice mixture and allow 20 minutes for rehydration.
  • After rehydration, begin to slowly add full strength juice into the yeast mixture every 5 minutes to allow for acclimation. Do not decrease the temperature by more than 5°C (9 °F) with each juice addition.
  • When the temperature of the yeast suspension is less than 10 °C (18 °F) warmer than the must or juice to be inoculated, slowly add the yeast mixture into the fermentation vessel.

Note: Directly adding dry yeast to the must or juice tank is not advised.
